It is a temple which is converted into a church[2] in the 18th century old, and it is situated at the middle of south bazar, north of the Anjoor-Kunnamkulam road and west of the Guruvayoor-Kunnamkulam road.
The church was converted from a Hindu temple at the behest of Shakthan Thampuran, the king of Cochin after the request of the Christians. The architectural style of the temple was retained, making the church's appearance distinctive.
